10.5” 5.56 SBR Ammo Recommendations

[MilitantBEEMER]

Any recommendations on the best ammo (commercial) for a 10.5“ 5.56 SBR? I was looking at the 75gr Hornady TAP, however all the places that sell it require proof of first responder. (I am not) Let me know any other options I should be looking at.

Thank you for your help.

I can’t believe they require that. I used to buy that and never had to show anything. I would ask them what makes that ammo so different that only “first responders “ can buy it.

IMI 77 grain razor core if it's a 1/7-1/8, if it's a 1/9 I'd run the 69 grain razor corr

Inside a house distance, Mk262 or some clone of it. If you possibly want to take animals or shoot outside 50 yards(ish) you’d be better off with Federal Fusion or Speer Gold Dot in the 62-75 grain range.

This is what I use in my Mk18 Mod0 clone.
